Christ Gospel Church


Bernice Hicks (1918?-)


Bernice Hicks (1918?-)


Kentucky, USA


Jeffersonville, IN USA


The central church offers a "Bible Institute Correspondence Course"; the church in Nigeria sponsors El-Beth-El Bible College & Theological Seminary


Christ Gospel Broadcast Churches, International, Inc., Christ Gospel Press


Rev. Hicks is said to have written over 100 books, including Articles of Faith, Growing in God, Confirming Our Faith in God, The Lord’s Sixty-Six Principles, Precious Gem in the Tabernacle


Christ Gospel Broadcast


include a belief in the pre-mortal existence of mankind (similar to that of Mormonism); that God Himself has a body, soul, and spirit, as well as masculine and feminine sides; that Jesus and the Word of God (also known as Christ) are not the same; a belief in the validity of astrology; and other unorthodox doctrines. One CGC-affiliated web site states that "Rev. Hicks’ teachings are unique in the way that spiritual themes and Biblical principles are tied together. Hebrew is used to bring out the hidden meanings of words in the Scripture."


According to at least one researcher, "Christ Gospel Church establishes firm authority over its adherents’ lives through the use of ’The Operating Committee’...Former members claim that Christ Gospel Church members will not date, marry, buy a home or a car, or let their children be involved in athletics without first consulting the Operating Committee."


The CGC web site indicates that members "follow the standards of old-fashioned holiness." Therefore, "The women do not wear makeup nor cut their hair."
